Caste stone formation in the MgO-H2O-organo system – Effect of citric, malic or acetic acid and MgO reactivity on type and composition of castables

Consolidation of MgO castables by organic acids is a common technique for various applications, but the distinct hardening mechanisms of caste stone formation are still poorly constrained. In this study, the individual hardening behavior was experimentally investigated by intermixing of (i) active f...
